BATTERY MODULE WITH REINFORCED SAFETY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240304941 titled 'BATTERY MODULE WITH REINFORCED SAFETY
The abstract describes a battery module with an improved structure to control the discharge of a flame generated within the module. This module is part of a battery pack and can be used in vehicles.
- The battery module includes a cell assembly with multiple battery cells stacked side by side, a taping member partially attached to the top sealing portion of the cells, a module terminal electrically connected to the cell assembly, and a module case that houses the cell assembly and has a top hole for ventilation.
- The unattached region of the taping member at the top of the cell assembly is strategically located where the top hole is formed in the module case, allowing for better flame control.
- This design helps prevent the spread of flames within the battery module, enhancing safety and reliability.
- By improving flame control, the battery module reduces the risk of thermal runaway and potential hazards associated with battery fires.
- The innovative structure of the battery module can be applied to various industries beyond automotive, such as energy storage systems and portable electronics.
